When Great Britain and its dominions declared war on Germany in
August 1914, they were faced with the formidable challenge of
transforming masses of untrained citizen-soldiers at home and
abroad into competent, coordinated fighting divisions. The Empire
on the Western Front focuses on the development of two units,
Britain's 62nd (2nd West Riding) Division and the Canadian 4th
Division, to show how the British Expeditionary Force rose to this
challenge. By turning the spotlight on army formation and
operations at the divisional level, Jackson calls into question
existing accounts that emphasize the differences between the
imperial and dominion armies.
